NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

African Bank Holdings Limited (“ABHL”) is a public company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa. ABHL is an

unlisted registered bank controlling company under the Banks Act, Act 94 of 1990. The shares in ABHL are privately held

by the South African Reserve Bank, the Government Employees Pension Fund, Absa Trading and Investments Solutions

(Proprietary) Limited, Nedbank Limited, FirstRand Bank Limited, Investec Bank Limited, The Standard Bank of South

Africa Limited and Capitec Bank Limited.

The company’s 100% held subsidiary African Bank Limited on 4 April 2016 entered into a restructuring transaction of the

entity formerly known as African Bank Limited (in curatorship). That entity has formally changed its name to “Residual

Debt Services Limited (in curatorship)”.

The details of the restructuring transaction can be found in the Offer Information Memorandum published on

4 February 2016 as well as in the SENS announcements available on www.africanbank.co.za.

The company also holds 100% of the issued share capital of African Insurance Group Limited. Its main business is holding

an investment in a cell captive structure provided by Guardrisk Insurance Company Limited (“Guardrisk”).

ABHL and its subsidiaries constitute the African Bank Holdings group of companies (“the Group”). The Group’s main

business is providing unsecured personal loans.

2. Basis of preparation

The condensed interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the

measurement and recognition requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the

International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting

Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB, IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, the South African Institute of

Chartered Accountants (SAICA), Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee (APC) and

the Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of

the Companies Act of South Africa (Act 71 of 2008).

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity

of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The

Group is using the historical cost basis as modified by the fair value accounting of certain assets and liabilities where

required or permitted by IFRS.

3. Accounting policies

These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2016 annual financial statements,

which were prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies are consistent with those reported in the previous

year except as required in terms of the adoption of the following amendments effective for the current period:

IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and

Discontinued Operations

IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures

IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements

IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts

IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment

IAS 19 – Employee Benefits

IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements

IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and

Joint Ventures

IAS 34 – Interim Financial Statements

IAS 38 – Intangible Assets

IAS 41 – Agriculture



8

3. Accounting policies (continued)

The abovementioned amendments to the IFRS standards did not have any effect on the Group’s financial results or

disclosures and had no impact on the Group’s accounting policies with exception for the following amendments:

The amendments to IAS 1 clarified rather than significantly changed the existing IAS 1 requirements around

materiality, order of presentation and disaggregation of the specific line items in the statement of profit or loss and

other comprehensive income and the statement of financial position.

The amendments to IAS 34, clarifying the meaning and the requirements for the disclosure of information “elsewhere

in the interim financial report” were applied by the Group for the current financial period.

4. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies management are required to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions about income, expenses and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from

other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on the historical experience and other factors that are

considered to be relevant. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may

be based upon amounts which differ from those estimates, judgements and assumptions.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by the management in applying

the Group’s accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual

financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2016.

5. Advances and credit risk disclosures

The impairment provisions for gross advances are classified into three categories, namely specific impairment, portfolio

specific impairment and incurred but not reported (IBNR) provisions.

10. Fair value disclosures

10.1. Valuation models

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices

or dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments, the Group determines fair values using other valuation

techniques.

The Group measures fair value using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in

making the measurements.

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for

identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1

that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability

that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

10.2. Valuation techniques

Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for

which market observable prices exist and other valuation models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques

include risk free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other factors used in estimating discounting rates, foreign

currency exchange rates, bond and equity prices, equity and equity index prices and expected price volatilities and

correlations.

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received

to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement

date.

Recurring fair values

The Group currently measures and presents derivative assets and derivative liabilities at fair value, all other financial

instruments are measured and presented at amortised cost. The Group uses widely recognised valuation models for

determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments, such as interest rate and currency swaps

that use only market data and require little management judgement and estimation. Observable prices or model inputs are

usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities, exchange traded derivatives and simple over-the-

counter derivatives such as swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for

management judgement and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values.

Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes

based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets. Fair value estimates obtained from models

reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group and the

counterparty where appropriate.

10. Fair value disclosures (continued)

10.2. Valuation techniques (continued)

Fair value for disclosure

For instruments measured and presented at amortised cost, in determining the fair value for disclosure purposes, the

Group uses its own valuation models, which are usually developed from recognised valuation models. Some or all of the

significant inputs into these models may not be observable in the market, and are derived from market prices or rates or

are estimated based on assumptions. Examples of instruments involving significant unobservable inputs include advances

and certain funding loans for which there is no active market. Valuation models that employ significant unobservable

inputs require a higher degree of management judgement and estimation in the determination of fair value. Management

judgement and estimation are usually required for selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination

of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of the probability of counterparty

default and selection of appropriate discount rate.

Fair value estimates obtained from models include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group and the

counterparty where appropriate.

General

Model inputs and values are calibrated against historical data and published forecasts and, where possible, against current

or recent observed transactions and experiences. This calibration process is inherently subjective and it yields ranges of

possible inputs and estimates of fair values, and management judgement is required to select the most appropriate point in

the range.

10.3. Valuation framework

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes

formalised policies and the approval and review process.

When third party information is used to measure fair value the following procedures are performed in order to ensure that

valuations meet the requirements of IFRS:

verifying that the third party is approved for use in pricing the relevant type of financial instrument; and

understanding how the fair value has been arrived at and the extent to which it represents actual market transactions.

10.4. Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value at the reporting date, by the

level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorised. The amounts are based on the values

recognised in the statement of financial position.

The group has entered into a cell captive arrangement whereby the group as cell shareholder is able to sell insurance products

under its own brand. Guardrisk is the principle to the insurance contact, although the business is underwritten on behalf of the

group as cell shareholder. Under this arrangement Guardrisk undertakes the professional insurance and financial management

of the cell, including functions related to underwriting, reinsurance, management of claims, actuarial and statistical analyses

and investment and accounting services.

Insurance risk is the possibility that the insured event occurs and that benefit payments and expenses exceed the carrying

amount of the insurance liabilities. Insured events are random and the actual number and amount of claims and benefits will

vary from year to year. Statistically, the larger the portfolio of similar insurance contracts, the smaller the relative variability of

the expected outcome will be. Similarly, diversification of the portfolio with respect to risk factors reduces insurance risk.

Guardrisk is responsible for evaluating all retention of risks in terms of statistical and underwriting disciplines, under the

mandate set for the cell arrangement.

Factors that aggravate insurance risk include those arising from a lack of risk diversification in terms of type and amount of

risk, geographical area and specific industries covered. The group sells not only credit and life insurance products, but also

funeral policies which introduces diversification into the portfolio.

The group manages these risks through its agreement with Guardrisk. The main risks to which the group is exposed include:

Mortality, and morbidity risks (the risk that actual experience in respect of the rates of mortality and morbidity may be

higher than that assumed in pricing and valuation varies, depending on the terms of different products);

Contract persistency risk (the risk that policyholders may cease or reduce their contributions or withdraw their benefits

and terminate their contracts prior to the contractual maturity date of a contract);

Expense risk (there is a risk that the group may experience a loss due to actual expenses being higher than that assumed

when pricing and valuing policies); and

Business volume risk (the risk that the group may not sell sufficient volumes of new business to meet the expenses

associated with distribution and administration).

These risks are mitigated through the cell captive arrangement with Guardrisk, which is experienced in the professional

insurance and financial management of insurance contracts, and has a proven track record that the group has determined can

be relied upon.

In determining the value of insurance liabilities, assumptions need to be made regarding future rates of mortality and

morbidity, termination rates, expenses and investment performance. The uncertainty of these rates may result in actual

experience being different from that assumed and hence actual cash flows being different from those projected. In the extreme,

actual claims and benefits may exceed the liabilities. The risk is mitigated to an extent through the addition of compulsory and

discretionary margins, specifically where there is evidence of moderate or extreme variation in experience and the extensive

use of reinsurance.

12. Related parties balances and transactions

African Bank Limited has granted a revolving loan facility to its holding company, African Bank Holdings Limited. The

highest balance during the period was R312_million (2016: R296 million). The loan is unsecured, repayable on 20 business

days’ notice and subject to interest at JIBAR plus 320 basis points. The outstanding loan balance as at 31 March 2017 is

R312 million (2016: R296 million).

13. Contingent liabilities and commitments

The outstanding conditionally revocable loan commitments are disclosed as part of the credit risk disclosure. There were no

significant changes in other contingent liabilities and commitments compared to those disclosed in 2016 annual financial

statements.

14. Events after the reporting period

There were no material matters or circumstances arising since the reporting period end, not otherwise dealt with in these

condensed interim financial statements, which significantly affects the financial position as at 31 March 2017 or the results

of its operations or cash flows for the six months then ended.

15. Reclassification of certain amounts in the statement of cash flows

African Bank Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of African Bank Holdings Limited, commenced its business on

4 April 2016 by acquiring an impaired advances portfolio in terms of the restructuring of the entity currently known as

Residual Debt Services Limited (in Curatorship) - the entity previously known as African Bank Limited. The IFRS

requirements around accounting for an impaired advance portfolio are complex and management is continuously striving to

improve the disclosures for this portfolio.

In the current financial period African Bank Limited has reconsidered the way in which certain cash flows attributable to

the acquired portfolio are classified within the statement of cash flows. Instead of being classified as part of the cash flows

from lending activities, such cash flows will be classified within cash flows attributable to the movement in gross

advances. The revised classification has been applied in these interim financial statements and could result in a restatement

to the statement of cash flows for September 2016 being restated on the above mentioned basis.

16. Other matters

During the reporting period, funding with the face value R664 million was bought back by African Bank Limited. There
